All of this is temporary.
How long will Planet Earth and the Milky Way galaxy provide conditions for human life? What cosmic endings and new beginnings await us? And how do we make sense of all of this?
Endless Universe explores cosmic sustainability through an entirely unique and profoundly moving lens.
Let your mind and heart soar in this live, fulldome presentation where music and philosophy meet astrophysics.
The work is a seamless and poetic integration of art and science that finds inspiration within our endings.
Endless Universe had its world premiere in 2022 for World Space Week at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium. The work was created in response to the World Space Week theme ‘Space and Sustainability’.
For 2023 National Science Week Endless Universe was programmed at the Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium and Melbourne Planetarium, Scienceworks.
